Did you do the paint job? Im looking at getting a wildcat made for my tikka project. Im going lightweight 6.5x55, no sling studs, barrel chopped to 20" and threaded with cap, no scope either- necg ghostring. Trying to plan and budget for the wildcat stock. Cant decide if I should paint it or get corlanes to.

Paint it yourself. It's not a difficult thing to do so long as you pay attention to properly cleaning and sanding the stock as you apply each additional layer of paint.

Wanted to update this thread. I'm still waiting on my rifles from the smith. To say I'm pissed at this point is an understatement, but when the guy lives 16 hours away, there's not much I can do. Hopefully the wait will be worth it and I'll have them here in the next month or so.

What are you having done that you needed a gunsmith for on your Tikka?

Ya I’d paint it yourself, easy to do if you’re on a budget.
